Why This Vote Is Getting So Much Attention

Unlike typical popularity polls, this award is based on the Customer Loyalty and Engagement Index (CLEI); a global evaluation system that measures not just recognition, but emotional connection between stars and audiences.

The survey is conducted by Brand Keys, a global research and consulting group known for analyzing consumer behavior and predicting brand success.

Voting is open from March 9 to March 22, and participation requires email verification, meaning each vote carries more weight.

For fans, this is not just about numbers but it’s about proving Junho’s lasting impact.
